Although I am aware of the different washing preferences for each and every garment, it came down to a simple practical choice. Whites yesterday, coloured today. I think the phrase ‘modern man’ started in the sixties by the way. 😊

I like the fact you only dress in whites, whilst your wife is a flurry of colour.

Anyway, the idea of the Modern Man was discusssd by a polish philospher called Brzozowski who died at the turn of the 20th Century. 

Culturally it can be attributed to any sense of modernity - which reach a populist peak in western culture in the mid to late 60s, which is probably why you're labouring under this slight misapprehension, and actually we're looking at what the post-modern man is. Or Post-post modern man if you like a bit of Devo. Which I do.

    Fairly certain no one is arsed, but we're still buzzing so I'm telling you all anyway.  We got incredibly lucky, thankfully! Weather was spot on and it properly set the tone for a perfect day, co

Not a wrinkle on my face at all. If your talking about my wife, well, she’s from Daubhill (she says Morris Green) so I’d be very careful with your careless talk. 😉

We Smithills folk no nothing about wrinkles - or in that fact - people from Daubhill come to that 😊

and of course I would never bismirch your good lady wife.

Culturally, the sixties created everything we have today. IMO. 
I was there, unlike the popular conception, I do remember. 
Not sure what this has to do with the weather by the way.🤷‍♂️

You probably know nothing about L/H then which is where I was brought up. Do not mess with a L/H Daubhill partnership. 😉

Wow - well, its a view I suppose.

I think it'd hold more weight if you said that you didn't believe we'd actually moved on culturally very much since the end of Modernity which is sort of what you're aiming at.

As I say , it's a view. usually however, kept by the slightly unreconstructed.

No, I know absolutley nothing, how on Earth could I? Prey tell, what is this alien area L/H you are talking about? I've heard dark tales, only whispered in corners of dark pubs of these strange folk being raised on Capstan Navy Cuts, holidaying in Anderson Shelters whilst drinking from puddles.

I believe it all to be a myth.

Yep. All true. I elevated myself up from that grim existence. Not like the privileged, middle class folk from Smithills and their chocolate medals.😊

I won a prize once. The Hawker Siddley prize for best engineering student across all courses when I did my ONC at Bolton Tech. It was a book token. Bought myself a book on economics. I still have it. Lots of graphs and such.😉

Hows the weather down in the shires?

I don't believe you. People from those sort of background who are multiple-homeowners never mention their upbringings.

Not the sort to do that, those sort of folks.

Love laugh live BB.

Not that you ever mention your upbringing or what your eating tonight with photos (soggy pasta)😊

I’ve left mine out. Goes like cardboard in these temperatures so I like the rain to act as a softener.

And I can’t be arsed

Don’t you use a fabric conditioner? Actually, you don’t have to answer that. Boby, modern man. 😊

About time. It’s pissing down I bet it’s like the River Caves round NSL Z 223

Quite.

After spending a proportion of my working life doing numerous washes of a variety of samples for the textile industry, I can no longer be arsed separating by material.

Just wash at the lowest temp required by whatevet goes in.

Anyway, thankfully it is raining significantly.

Finally hit central Bolton. 20 mins of this will do nicely

Roasting again all day here, no sign of any rain.

Blissful today after yesterday's thunderstorms, and it's cleaned the car of all the tree sap.

I see why they call you ‘creepy’ Crawley now. Very strange. 3rd time you’ve brought sex into your comments about me. 😳
